The Tennessee Volunteers women's Swimming and Diving program represents the University of Tennessee located in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Volunteers are currently coached by Matt Kredich.[2] The Lady Vols host their swim home meets in Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center which was newly built in 2008.[3] The Lady compete in the SEC where they have won 2 SEC team titles (2020 and 2022), 84 individual, relay, and diving titles. Additionally, the program is one of only 3 that have scored in all 41 NCAA meets, and it has produced 8 NCAA individual and relay titles, 16 Olympians, and 3 Olympic medalists.
Along with all other UT women's sports teams, it used the nickname "Lady Volunteers" (or the short form "Lady Vols") until the 2015–16 school year, when the school dropped the "Lady" prefix from the nicknames of all women's teams except in basketball.[4] In 2017 the university announced the return of the “Lady Volunteer” name.[5]
